Angry brain dead!

so i fed my brain coral some krill like to lfs said to. i put two pieces on its mouth and its tentacles grasped it and pulled it in. I was happy because I though I was helping it get some good nutrition. My room stank after that. The krill food is disgusting and my whole room smells even with the bottle closed... i just put a box of baking soda next to it to rid that smell... but what i am really here to say is later that i night i saw one of my peppermint shrimp snacking on the brain. I didnt think anything of it because it usually cruises on my corals and eats scraps and what not so i let it be. the next day i looked at the brain and it was hollowed out.... completely eaten with just the green outter rim left... the internal stomach and tentacles were all gone.... is this normal for the shrimp to do or did it just smell that krill on the brain and go nuts on it... im angry and wanna go flip out on the lfs for telling me to feed it that if the krill is the reason... please give me some input on this haha... thanks guys
